Join professor Jim Al-Khalili as he traces the story of arguably the most important, accurate and perplexing scientific theory ever - quantum physics. Breaking it down into easily understood concepts, Al-Khalili explores the workings of the sub-atomic world shaping everything around us.

Albert Einstein hated the idea that nature, at its most fundamental level, is governed by chance. Jim reveals how, in the 1930s, Einstein thought he had found a fatal flaw in quantum physics. Seventy years later, Jim puts Einstein's theory to the test, with shocking results. (1 of 2)

Physicist Jim Al-Khalili turns his attention to the world of nature and how quantum mechanics may explain the greatest mysteries in biology. From evolution itself to birds using navigation techniques that seemingly defy common sense, Al-Khalili shows how quantum physics touches all aspects of life. (2 of 2)
